- 3 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tbsp butter

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Melt 1/2 tbsp butter over medium heat in a pot, then sautée 4 oz onions and 2 tbsp garlic for about 3 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in 4 tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tbsp pepper, 1 cup chicken stock, 1 cup milk, and 2 tbsp cream, and cook for 3 minutes, or until it starts to bubble.
Arrange the 2.2 lb potato slices in the casserole dish in even layers and pour the sauce over them. Using a spatula, fill all visible gaps with onion bits to get a nice, flat surface.
Cover with tin foil and bake for 1 hour.
Uncover and sprinkle 3 oz shredded cheese on top. Broil for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is golden brown on the surface.
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp thyme and serve.
